Morris County Juvenile Crime Defense

The juvenile justice system is intended for rehabilitation rather than punishment. But it takes a lawyer experienced in juvenile court to protect your child’s rights and keep the focus on getting that second chance.

Experienced Representation for Juvenile Charges

New Jersey law requires that youths under 18 be represented by an attorney in criminal and juvenile delinquency matters. We are an established criminal defense law firm with over 25 years of experience, including extensive practice in juvenile courts of Morris County and all counties of North Jersey.

We have favorably resolved cases involving every type of juvenile crime allegation:

Alcohol violations, including DWI

Drug possession

Shoplifting, theft or burglary

Vandalism or arson

School fights and aggravated assault

Sexual assault and other sex offenses

Limiting the Impact and Getting Help for Your Child

For certain offenses, your child could be sent to juvenile detention or a halfway house. For major crimes, he or she could be tried in adult court and sent to jail or prison. We work hard to keep clients in the juvenile system when possible and fight for alternatives to incarceration.

There are many diversion programs that result in dismissal of charges if your youth stays out of trouble. The court can approve counseling programs for alcohol, drugs, anger management and other treatment to help your child. But these alternatives are not automatic. We always look forward to helping a child in need of quality representation.
